Reviews

'The Cambridge Companion to American Horror effectively introduces readers to contemporary scholarly conversations within and champions of American Gothic and horror humanities. This collection will suit a variety of audiences, from the most committed to the novice horror fan. It will especially satisfy scholars looking for an accessible gloss of what will undoubtedly continue to be a growing and increasingly nuanced field. I hope that horror scholars will interpret Storey and Shapiro's gauntlet of transformation as a call for continued interdisciplinary scholarship on American as well as other horror traditions.' Alex M. Anderson, Science Fiction Film and Television
